EXHAUST
REQUIREMENTS
AND
MAINTENANCE
Exhaust
and
Dryer
Maintenance
1.
After
one
year
of
use,
the
interior
and
complete
exhaust
system
of
the
dryer
should
be
examined
and
cleaned
if
necessary.
2.
Before
one
year
of
use,
when
drying
performance
has
become
unsatisfactory,
please
examine
and
clean
the
exhaust
duct
for better
drying
performance.
3.
Check
the
weather
hoods
frequently
to
ensure
the
dampers
are
moving
freely,
that
the
dampers
are
not
pushed
in
and
that
nothing
has
been
set
against
the
dampers.
4.
A
qualified
service
person
or
company
should
be
used
to
perform
this
maintenance.
5.
A
Flexible
Metal
Vent
Kit,
available
at
extra
cost,
can
be used
to
exhaust
the
dryer
when
it
is
placed
in
hard
to
reach
places.
This
Kit
comes
in
two
pieces,
one
of
which
is
attached
to
the
dryer
and
the
other
is
attached
to
the
wall
exhaust
outlet.
Following
attachment
of
the
two
separate
pieces
to
the
dryer
and
the
wall,
the
dryer
may
be
returned
to
its
final
position,
after
which
the
two
pieces
themselves
can
be
connected.
7.
Ordinarily,
the
dryer
drum
will
need
no
care.
Wipe
the
exterior
of
the
dryer
as
required,
and
always
wipe
the
exterior
of
the
dryer
in
the
event
any
detergent,
bleach,
or
other
washing
products
is
spilled
on
the
dryer.
8.
Clean
the
control
panel
with
a
damp
cloth
as
necessary.
Warning:
spray
pre-wash
products
may
damage
the
finish
of
the
control
panel.
9.
Please
clean
the
lint
filter
either
before
drying
each
load
or
after
drying
each
load.
10.
Always
make
sure
the
lint
filter
is
clean
before
starting
a
new
load,
because
a
clogged
lint
filter
may
increase
drying
times.
11.
Annually
remove
the
lint
filter
and
attach
it
to
the
vacuum
duct.
See
item
#2
above.
12.
Please
note
that
the
wiring
diagram
is
provided
inside
the
dryer
control
hood.
Label
all
wires
prior
to
disconnection
when
servicing
the
dryer,
because
wiring
errors
can
cause
serious
injury
to
you
and
your
dryer.
Cleaning
the
Lint
Screen
1.
Clean
the
lint
filter
either
before
drying
each
load
or
after
drying
each
load.
Always
make
sure
the
lint
filter
is
clean
before
starting
a
new
load,
because
a
clogged
lint
filter
may
increase
drying
times.
2.
To
clean,
pull
the
lint
screen
straight
up
and
roll
any
lint
off
the
screen
with
your
fingers.
Do
not
rinse
or
wash
screen
to
remove
lint.
Push
the
lint
screen
firmly
back
into
place.
3.
Always
ensure
the
lint
screen
is
firmly
secured
before
running
the
dryer.
Running
the
dryer
with
a
loose
lint
screen
may
cause
overheating
and
damage
to
the
dryer
and
articles
being
dried.
4.
Some
articles
of
clothing
may
shed
more
lint
than
others
(towels
for
example),
causing
the
Lint
Screen
to
rapidly
fill.
Remove
lint
from
the
lint
screen
before
and
after
drying
these
articles,
such
as
new
towels.
5.
In
the
event
lint
falls
off
of
the
lint
screen
and
into
the
dryer
during
removal,
inspect
the
exhaust
hood
and
remove
any
lint.
6.
Laundry
detergent
and
fabric
softener
residue
can
build
up
on
the
lint
screen,
causing
longer
drying
times.
The
screen
is
likely
blocked
if
lint
falls
off
the
screen.
In
order
to
prevent
this
type
of
build
up,
and
help
ensure
proper
operation
of
your
dryer,
clean
the
lint
screen
with
a
nylon
brush
every
six
months
or,
if
necessary,
more
frequently.
The
lint
filter
can
also
be
washed
as
follows:
a)
After
rolling
the
lint
off
of
the
screen
with
your
fingers,
wet
both
sides
of
the
screen
with
hot
or
warm
water.
b)
Wet
a
nylon
brush
with
hot
water
and
liquid
detergent
and
scrub
the
lint
screen
with
the
brush
to
remove
the
buildup
of
detergent
and
fabric
softener.
c)
After
the
residue
has
been
removed,
rinse
screen
with
hot
water.
d)
After
drying
the
lint
screen
with
a
clean
towel,
firmly
replace
the
lint
screen
in
your
dryer.
WARNING!
Disconnect
the
dryer's
electric
power
prior
to
any
cleaning
or
maintenance.
